Probably the best decision for the club as the players clearly weren’t prepared to work for him. Another example of player power and won’t be the last. 
Maybe some of these players should follow him out the door if they’re not willing to give 100% for the fans regardless of who’s in the dugout. 

One thing I will say about this whole farce is the club had a massive culture problem with how much information from within the club is leaked. Any sign of trouble you have 8 different people coming out from sources in the know.

I'd agree with that. Said as much a week ago.

It's good to be close to the players when the times are good but when the times are bad it's all a bit too close for my liking.

What’s almost as embarrassing as the actual sacking after four league games is the fact the board have been telling all their mates they’re going to do it before they told Stubbs himself.

This club is leakier than a sieve and it’s because of this amateurish board.

Get them out and get a professional in who can do the job properly. Can we get Brian Caldwell back up the road?

Whoever from the club leaked this information (directly or indirectly) to Stewart Gilmour this morning will be regretting the error of their judgement.
Hopefully this is sorted out by GLS & Co so that there is not a repetition of this breach of confidence in the future.

It's laughable to purely blame Stubbs, purely because the errors the players have made. They literally turn off any time the ball breaks down. The midfield is non existent the defence have been ragdolled by a better team

Looked like a foul for climbing, but not reacting to the break of the ball is criminal.

4th goal McGinn turns off for another second ball, easy for Naismith to slide it across.

Hearts look really good. But we've lacked basic concentration for pretty much all the goals

Would have started Mullen over Smith otherwise exactly the team I posted.

I feel Mullen would offer a lot more work and defensive play in a game we're expected to be on the back foot.

James Keatings is an injury liability, did he actually play for Dundee Utd at all last season? We were in for him last season, and i wasn't bothered about missing out on him, my mind hasn't been changed this season

If the attitude of our fans to adversity is what I'm seeing and hearing, we deserve everything we get. 
If players are deciding they don't fancy the manager and are performing with less than 100% commitment due to this, they can go as far as I'm concerned. 
Seems we're excusing players who are performing in a less than professional way, as if they're wee boys rather than grown men who are paid well to represent this club. 
I support this club, not individuals. I don't personally know any of the players - or the manager - so I speak without bias on their performances, without giving them excuses that I refuse to give to others. 
I'm personally sick and tired of this season already. I'll go and support the team every week as usual but the way we've turned on the manager and a lot of new, young players is pathetic, and as stated, we deserve everything we get.
With that, I'm giving this place a miss for a while. 

Why is there so many rumours coming out the club now? True or false, why are we now totally incapable of dealing things behind closed doors, instead of absolutely everybody knowing what's apparently happening.

Talk of player chucking it after 9 games? We'd be stuffed under any manager if that's their attitude if things aren't going their way.

Looking at the squad we don't have anyone that can turn the game by themselves as we did last year. Even last year there were times we looked pedestrian until Morgan came up with something himself.
 
There's still time thankfully to get some players in, but it looks like our midfield aren't doing great going forward or defensively either. If we don't add that dig or creativity then it's definitely alarm bell time.
 
The players we've got also just need to get on with it, instead of all this chat of an unsettled team. If your not happy that some guys have been signed to your position, just get on with it and win the job over them. Far too many whispers on social media for my liking.

Really doesn't matter.
A lot of people seem to forget the football isn't cycles of multiple years for players/coaches to be on one team. Apart from the top level, where the money means they can have massive amounts of depth and players tied up for multiple years. Now coaches and players will be on the move close to once a year, with any managers needing to build an entire team every summer.
You need to use
Transfers, although we've paid for one transfer I'd very much doubt we'd sign more than one player a year for any sizable fee Pre-Contract Agreement rule; something we've got two players out of, one already away from the club, and can be a struggle of clubs our size to budget 6 months ahead, due to all the variables. Wait until players are out of contract, and hope your offer is better than whatever else they are getting offered Loans, low-risk potential high reward. Sign players from bigger clubs who need football, if they are good they get their move on if they're bad we can send them back to their parent club early. Ideally, they do well, then we get the chance to keep them using the two methods above like happened with Cammy Smith. The only thing you're potentially going to miss out on with loans is transfer fees. I quite like the use of loans, they offer a lot more flexibility for finances than a straight contract, with the parent club potentially paying part of the wages. They've served us pretty well the last 10 years or so, and seen quite a few players stay to play here. Carey, McGowan and Smith being examples. I'd go as far as saying the majority of the better players we've had in recent history have been loan signings.

Rangers had 7 loans last year 4 this year, Celtic had 4 last year they are two of the biggest teams in the country with budgets where they can go out and buy players.
 
Aberdeen also had 6 last year
 
But seemingly to some we are too good for loanees.
